I was out this weekend scouting camp sites on the north side of Palomar Mountain. I was with a buddy with a Tremor F250. Obviously a less, but impressively capable vehicle, I had to slow down because his wife was getting tossed around from the stiffer suspension.
As we started our descent to...
Not a good combo. My youngest is learning and this Jeep platform is not the best. Wanders, touchy gas pedal in the 2.0, vague steering in the JT, always wanting to take her hand off the wheel to wave at other jeep ?. Not very good for student drivers. Oh, and limited places to stick the magnetic...
Decided to take the top off an run Softopper safari style today. PSA: the corner tie down straps easily work themselves loose. Had to improvise. Otherwise relatively quiet. It also provides a little shade for the cab when the sun is low. The dog loves it too.
Anyone else run their soft shell...
Been turning my Electronic Stability Control off everytime it get in the truck. I swear my mileage is up just over 1mpg (On the computer). No way, right?
Weather here is holding in the 70s and the rain looks like it’s mostly gone. Reached out to Ryan at Suntop. Says he has the Tan tops in stock. Not showing any better offerings yet (in black or Tan). Ive got a tan softopper over the bed and want the tops to look the same/similar. Everyone with...
I picked up the Terra Flex 1.5 kit this week in hopes to accomplish a few things. First reduce the awful bottoming out. And second maintain some rake because I often tow my custom off road camper. I decided on only using the 1” spacer and opted out of the 1” bump stop extension.
Overall the...
Took my truck in to get my first oil change at about 4900miles. It was the end of the day when I picked it up. They were working on it at 5:15 when I got dropped off. Not sure why but they didn’t give me any paperwork. I’m going to get into this with them today,
Anyway, there Is no visual sign...
I’m concerned the electronic gremlins are going to shut my truck down. If my theory is correct, this will be my first real problem with the eco diesel.
Roughly 200 miles ago my truck gave me a warning that it will not start in 500 miles unless I add DEF. A few days ago I filled it up with...
Anyone have experience with this? I have an off road trailer with 5 lug axles. I’d like to use a spacer/ converter to change the bolt pattern to match the Jeeps. I have an extra set of rims and tires and it would be good to have everything match in case of a flat.
Thoughts? Concerns?
Did our first overland trip for the season with the new ecodiesel. Perfect weather and the 3.0 was strong! Pulled base camp out to the Anza Borergo SP. No more hunting for gears like the 3.6. With endless amounts of torque.
4:30 am start packing. The wife thinks I’m crazy.
First stop was Yaqui...

I was gifted 2-$100 Amazon gift cards. I’m in the market for auxiliary lighting. My JT has the LED light option already. I’m looking for opinions and pics of auxiliary lights. I think my needs are for flood lighting. When I’m out in the desert at night, it’s really hard to see ant night (that...
